   A simulation shows how NATO can easily get unintentionally sucked into the Ukrainian conflict leading to Russia releasing nuclear weapons in its desperation.

     @kino @yogthos @damko These are damn real and with Putin, that's the point, not that the others aren't real.

     @damko @yogthos like other nation's nuclear arsenals are somehow not "damn real"?

     @yogthos of course it would. More than a possibility it seems to me a certainty. Putin was really serious in his message. As he was extremely clear on 2012 and 2014. But we (West) never listen because we think we have it bigger than anyone. Except we don't. And now this war has become a matter of (Russian) pride. Putin will never step back until alive.

     It seems that this horrible #war
     can get only worse before it gets better ... eventually.

     I'm really worried

     #Ukraine

     @damko @yogthos
     All the same, there are lots of holes and prejudice in that simulation.

     @yogthos I actually agree fully that NATO has to be extreeeeemly careful about involvement now, as it's easy to get stuck in a world war that ends in nuclear exchange. But I'm not sure The Federalist is the best source to go to.

     @roadriverrail well yeah, but the fact that even conservatives understand the risks of a nuclear war is probably a good thing in the grand scheme of things.

     It does paint an easy to understand picture of how quickly things could escalate.
